WebsitesNowActivatingSafariPushNotificationsAheadOfMavericks

The iOS-inspired Safari push notifications feature, which Apple has added to its next-generation OS X Mavericks, is set to launch soon. However, ahead of OS X Mavericks, a number of high-profile websites - including NBA.com and The New York Times - have already activated support for the feature, according to a recent report.
